Telecommuting Can Be Bad For Those Who Don't

SirLurksAlot writes "An article up on Ars Technica reports on a study of telecommuting from the point of view of those who show up at the office every day. The study discovered that telecommuting can have adverse effects on the office-bound. Researcher Timothy Golden 'found that in-office employees took less satisfaction in their jobs and felt less of a relationship and obligation to their company as the number of telecommuting coworkers grew. In-office employees in his study became disappointed at having fewer and weaker relationships. They also got frustrated at a perceived increase in workload and difficulties that telecommuting can present to finishing projects and building strong working relationships.'" The article notes that telecommuting is "not an exact science." Some good insights in the discussion forum too.

    You grow accustomed to slacking when that's your so-called "work" environment.
    When this happened to house niggers, they were put in the field immediately.
    Perhaps the worst, laziest telecommuters could be moved back to the offices similarly.

    Ahhh I gotcha.

    1) You are a nigger.
    2) You were forced to telecommute because:
            a) Niggers, such as yourself, do not bathe.
            b) Niggers, such as yourself, are violent predators.
            c) Niggers, such as yourself, have uncontrollable rape-libidos.
    3) Your company went out of business because of (1).

    Anything I am missing? Other than a chromosome, ha ha, fuck you.

    I specialize in making good upstanding religious families, who had 6 kids on one meager income, subsidize government lube for low-income orgy-and-abortion parties through the tax code.
